Serious Eats Gift Guide: Eco-Friendly Gifts

In the last year or so, it seems that environmental issues have come to the forefront in the kitchen—both at home and in restaurants. From chefs cooking with seasonal, sustainable ingredients, to locavorism and the concern over food miles, to those I Am Not a Plastic Bag bags. For those of us wishing to minimize our impact on the environment, here's the Serious Eats Gift Guide to eco-friendly things to give and get for the holidays. Prices don't include shipping unless otherwise specified.

Green As Can Be Gift Set

Shopping website, Delight.com, has bundled their top-selling eco-friendly items (including 1 set of Envirosax bags and a Sigg bottle) into their Green As Can Be Gift set for your shopping convenience. Green As Can Be Gift Set, $61.50

Bamboo Bowl

If I had more kitchen storage, I'd have one of these bowls in every color on my wish list. Made from bamboo (a sustainable and highly renewable resource), each bowl is coiled by hand and finished with a food-safe lacquer. 6" bamboo lacquerware bowl by Bambu, $14.95

Green Glass

The Green Glass Company turns discarded bottles into usable glassware. I'm partial to the Cyan Tumblers (pictured) made from the lower portion of a Bordeaux bottle. There are many more options available in terms of colors and glass types/shapes via the website. Set of 4 Cyan Tumblers, $40
